RE: NGD Don’t feel too bad. Franco Nevada is down almost 2 per cent and Pretium is down almost 7 per cent today. The only explanation for these quality gold stocks being down on a $40 dollar gold up day is massive shorting (manipulation). In the case of New Gold the shorting has been going on for some time now and is very aggressive. I can only assume that these are the stocks TPTB fear the most. In the end, gold in the ground will be the only safe gold, and NGD will be among the biggest winners.
